Re: ARCHIVES Digest - 6 Feb 2000 to 7 Feb 2000 (#2000-38)



I was at the Adams Mark in St. Louis last November.  I had a troubling
experience with asking the doorman to order a cab.  He whistled for a cab
driver, and the driver who responded stuffed a wad of bills in the
doorman's hand. The driver then drove us off to a restaurant in the most
erratic and dangerous manner, careening from lane to lane, cursing, and
honking the horn.  Returning from dinner I asked the M'd to order any cab
but that one.  Our new driver said he could not take us directly to the
Admas Mark hotel because it was "crooked," and he dropped us off a block
away.  I wrote a complaint on the hotel's evaluation form, but of course
never received any response. - Elena Danielson

>>Dear Friends:
>>
>>         As OAH Convention approaches, we have decided to create a formal
>>organization to persuade the OAH to sever ties with the Adams Mark and to
>>organize demonstrations in St. Louis against the Adams Mark whether or not
>>the OAH takes such a step.  Our organization is called the Committee for a
>>New
>>Convention Site(CNCS, pronounced cynics). Its statement of principles,
>>expectations, and list of founding members are presented below. If you
>>agree with the statement and wish to join the organization; or wish to
>>express concerns, register questions, and give opinions you may do so by
>>contacting Jeffrey T. Sammons at <Jeffrey.Sammons@nyu.edu>(don't use the
>>brackets).
>>
>>          To join CNCS one must be committed to protesting in St. Louis and
>>to pledging money to help protect OAH should it suffer damage as a result
>>of severing ties with Adam's Mark.  For those who cannot commit to one
>>and/or both obligations, we still welcome your support.  We need to show
>>OAH that we are backing it all the way in the fight against Adam's mark and
>>racial injustice. Pledges and comments should be sent to OAH Executive
>>Council at Lee@Oah.org,
>>and the OAH President at David. Montgomery@Yale.edu
>>
>>          The CNCS Statement follows:
>>
>>To: Dr. David Montgomery, President, OAH and OAH Executive Board
>>
>>From: The Committee for a New Convention Site(CNCS)
>>
>>Re: Disassociation with Adam's Mark by February 29, 2000
>>
>>Date: February 4, 2000
>>
>>
>>       The Committee for a New Convention Site(CNCS, pronounced
>cynics*)asks the
>>OAH to move all activities related to the convention out of the Adam's
>>Mark Hotel, including: registration, panels, vendors, meetings, interviews,
>>and any other OAH-sponsored events.  Furthermore, CNCS asks that the OAH
>>not encourage members and participants to stay at the Adam's Mark.  If the
>>OAH takes the above actions by February 29, then CNCS will encourage
>>participation in all OAH events.  At the same time, CNCS is committed to
>>organizing and carrying out protest action against Adam's Mark and hopes
>>that the leadership and others in OAH will stand alongside us in those
>>protests.
>>       Should OAH not meet the February 29 date for disassociation with
>Adam's
>>Mark, CNCS will encourage non-participation in OAH activities and commit to
>>the planning and staging of organized demonstrations at Adam's Mark.
>>       In the event of a settlement, the terms, meaning, enforceability,
>and
>>punitive power of that agreement will determine CNCS's course of action.
>>       We are pleased that OAH has made considerable progress in the right
>>direction, but it has not gone far enough.  We are desperately hoping that
>>OAH will not become the issue.  We are doing everything that we can to
>>protect OAH against undue harm should OAH take the moral high ground and
>>refuse to do business with Adam's Mark and Fred Kummer.  All of us are
>>aware that Adam's Mark is the real problem, and we want to continue working
>>with OAH in exposing and correcting the past and present wrongs committed
>>by Adam's Mark and to prevent such unjust practices in the future.
>>
>>                               Sincerely,
>>

>
>National Digital Library Program - Library of Congress
>
>Omaha Indian Music from the American Folklife Center is now available on
>American Memory
>
>The latest addition to the American Memory historical collections
>documents the music of the Omaha Indian Tribe. Omaha Indian Music
>includes 44 recordings made by Francis La Flesche and Alice Cunningham
>Fletcher between 1895 and 1897, as well as recordings made by staff of
>the American Folklife Center at the 1983 Omaha harvest celebration
>pow-wow and the 1985 Hethu?shka Society concert held at the Library of
>Congress. Also included with this collection are interviews with members
>of the Omaha tribe that provide background information about the songs
>performed, field notes and tape logs made by Center staff during the
>1983 pow-wow, and
>photographs and related publicity materials from the various
>performances. This presentation was made possible by the generous
>support of the Texaco Foundation.
>
>The oldest recordings in the collection were made by Francis La Flesche,
>the second son of Omaha chief Joseph La Flesche, and Alice Cunningham
>Fletcher, a student of Native-American life and a champion of the
>emerging discipline of anthropology.  During the late 1800s and early
>1900s, the two worked to collect materials to document the history of
>the Omaha people and eventually published The Omaha Tribe in 1911. They
>were the first to document Omaha music on the reservation.  In 1985, 44
>of their recordings were published as an LP by the American Folklife
>Center. The liner notes and other documents related to this recording
>are included with the online collection.
>
>In the 1980s, staff from the American Folklife Center visited the Omaha
>tribe to present copies of the Fletcher and La Flesche recordings.
>During these visits staffers were able to record the music from pow-wows
>such as the one in 1983. Users of this collection can listen to that
>pow-wow from beginning to end.  Folklife staff were also able to
>interview members of the tribe about their music. The interviews provide
>contextual information about the songs. Of special interest will be
>segments from an interview with John Turner, an elder of the tribe who
>was a singer and flute player, and Rufus White, the lead singer of the
>Host Drum in 1983.   These recordings, which were made a few months
>before John Turner?s death and shortly before the 1999 pow-wow, provide
>translations and interesting insight into the songs presented.
>
>The Omaha Tribe presently has 4,950 members, with approximately half
>living on the 261-mile Omaha reservation located in Macy, Walthill, and
>Rosalie, Nebraska.
